This is my favourite kind of oven mitt, the one that fits both hands at once! We have one but it’s getting old and I’ve always wanted to make another. Then today I found some insulbrite I forgot I’d picked up before all this covid business, I’ve been rummaging the stash trying to use stuff up and there it was!
Sewing all those criss-crossy lines was a right pain in the bum but worth it in the end as it’s nice and thick and sturdy to stand up to the rough-housing 5 people get up to in our kitchen.
I don’t know if I’ve seen a double handed pot holder before, what a great idea! You seem to be doing a pretty good job of working through your stash! It’s always nice to find an unexpectedly helpful element amidst the stash.
Sure. I’ll draft a pattern and create a tutorial to share. I mean to make another one for my sister with some fabric that has cassette tapes printed on it, it’s so retro and cute!
I am really enjoying this time to create and work through stash without being able to add to it. I know some people are online shopping but I like to do that in person to check quality and colour so I haven’t bought anything except elastic for fabric masks. I still have loads of stuff to use, I could never resist a thrift store score and my craft room is full of treasures.
Well, I never thought I’d say this, but that’s a gorgeous oven mitt! I am always enamored of this style, but am always uncertain it would get used much. Maybe when next I’m making pot holders, I’ll give one a shot and just finally find out!
